Yes. That's something I hadn't thought of but it's quite a natural extension of the thought process.

Precisely.

Yes. It does. I had just never seen anyone do it so well before. Many companies have URLs on their packaging. None that I've seen have capitalized on it like Kraft. What would be interesting to know is how many sign up for the e-zine and whether they track the sales from the e-zine, (might be a little hard to do since the buying would normally be in a store), etc.

Excellent idea! Ron LeGrand, (of real estate investing fame), shows a similar idea on a truck. "We Buy Houses - Cash." I've been toying with using that idea on my truck, (wife won't let me put it on the van - I want to put it on both), either as a magnetic sign or stick on letters for my real estate ventures.
